Boats and ships



There are so many ways to travel on water - row boats, canoes, motor boats, sail yachts, passenger ships, even gondolas. This week I challenge you to make a piece of art using an image (or idea) of a boat or a ship. You can use one of these images shown here, or any other image you like. You can make digital art or manual collage or a three dimensional piece - anything goes. My own version of the theme is on my blog.

Please post an image of your art piece on your blog or other site, and leave a link to your work in our "comments" section. Instructions on how to leave a link to your work are located in the right sidebar. Just click on the words, "How to add your link in comment".

I'm really looking forward to see your entries. It's always fantastic to see how talented you are and how you can interprete the themes in so many original ways. Thank you for participating!

(The first image is from an old Finnish postcard, the second one is an old chocolate box cover, and the ocean liner is googled.)

Here's my digital collage. I used an image I already had--a photo my husband took at a harbor in North Carolina. I altered it considerably with interesting results.
